WINNIE K. JOHNSON PASSED AWAY SATURDAY Hare Suggests Star Route for Barnwell Second District Congressman in City Saturday Investigating Present Mail Service. The use of pears was demonstrated at the club market Wednesday morn ing at 9 o’clock just pmvious to the sale.^ A sample of pear marmalade was made up beforehand and served with crackers the morning of the demonstration, so that those who could not remsdn the entire time would have an opportunity of knowing how the finished product tasted. (Two flavors were used, one of ginger and one of pineapple). Miss Ketchen, from Winthrop College, and Miss Elizabeth McNab, the Home Demon stration Agent, prepared the fruit and cooked it while the visitors at the market looked on, and in an hour’s time the demonstration supply was ready to serve. This afforded a splendid oppor tunity for exchanging of recipes and methods relative to canning and pre serving of garden and orchard pro ducts. Many visitors showed their inter est in the demonstration by leaving with recipes on the use of pears and some of the fruit which was on sale at tint market. With the addition of a little ginger or pineapple a delicious product can be made from the com monly called “tasteless year” by using the following recipe: Pear Jam. \" *- 4 pounds Keifer pears (other pears may be dsed); 3 pounds sugar; 2 lemons; 1 can grated piuneappie or 1 oz. ginger root; peel and core the pears and put them through > food chopper. Press the juice from the lemons and reserve to add to the syrup, put the lemon rinds through the food chopper and add to the pear and to the fruit add the sugar, lemon juice and water. If fresh ginger root can be obtained, slice and add to the whole. If the dried root must he used bruise* the root*, tie them in a cloth and drop into the fruit while it cooks. Cook until it has reached the consistency of jam, being careful not to scorch. It is very easy to overcook this product. If the grated pineapple is used omit the ginger and add tho pineapple five minutes before the product iq finished. Pack in sterilized jars and seal im mediately. Congressman Butlor B. Hare, of Saluda, was in Barnwell Saturday in reference to the present unsatisfac tory mail service caused by the recant chang* inv schedule of the morning train over the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Until recently, the bulk of the mail received here and by other towms along this railroad was routed by way of the early morning trains which reached this city about 6:30 o’clock. That train doesn’t reach here now until after three o’clock in the afternoon, with result that local busi- v**a men are about a day behind in their correspondence. Congressman Hare suggested a Star Mail - Route as a means of remedying the situation. Such a route would either connect at Ellenton with the preateit route from Augusta, or would be mm from Denmark to Barnwell and on to Ellenton. It is believed that the latter route would be more acceptable, as a Seaboard Air Line train from the North passes through Denmark between one and two o’clock in the morning rnd mail from Northern and Eastern cities to towns in this section could be routed that way. The Congressman would be glad to have suggestions from loco! business men as to the retablishment of a Star Route. It is also rumored that the Coast Line contemplates running a morning train between Florence and Augusta, arriving in Barnwell about nine o’ clock, but this has not bewn confirmed. MRS.

Johnson, aged 70 years, died at 5 o’clock Saturday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Levi Bolen, near Williston. Mrs. Johnson had been in ill health for a number of yeans, but her cktath was quite unex pected, as she was ill for less than an hour before her death.

I believe that these other two boys that are running for President would both have been better off if they had pulled a Coolidge and got down in thitir shell and not come out till the votes were counted. If I was these boys I would kinder fight shy of a public Clinic. I be lieve if they had both stayed behind the microphone out of sight of an audience and shot it to ’em at long range, they would have been better off. This thing of hunting your hero and getting acquainted ^ith him is awful liable to make you start hunting for anothe rhero. A1 and Herb.have both done things which are on 4 the recoi and I belkive I would let folks look over the record instead of the patient. , As the presidential candidate of the Anti-Bunk Party, I am going on the theory that it is better to read about a brown derby than it is to see ona When we know that a man has put the Nose Bag on Belgium and; made us eat bran mash like a cow in< stead of bread, why we are going to look for a mighty commanding and magnetic personality. I don’t think I am betraying any national secret when I say that both of these boys are liable to get more votes if you can’t see ’em. Cam paigns have ruined more men than they have ever made.
